the US president wrote as he retweeted gay rights activist Peter Tatchell's own expression of support for the groundbreaking movie. Trump is not a regular advocate of gay rights, while some of his more right-wing supporters actively oppose them. "I hope this is the beginning of President Trump's genuine embrace of LGBT+ rights & not just a PR stunt," Tatchell tweeted after. India's Supreme Court scrapped a colonial-era ban on homosexuality only in 2018. Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania, is due to land in the western city of Ahmedabad on Monday before heading to the Taj Mahal and then to talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi the next day.
